Unable to find tile palette or create a tilemap

Unity Engine
1

Hello,
Maybe there is something I am missing but I cannot find anything in unity related to tilemap.
I have watched youtube videos to learn how to build a tilemap but every option they use is not present in my Unity Editor.
Is there something to download and install to benefit from tileset capabilities (seems available since october 2017) ?

I am using 5.6.3p2 version (I just downloaded it).

Thanks for your help,
Gerbevar

Tilemap was added in Unity 2017.2
https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-2017.2.0
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

After Unity 5.6, they switched to a year-based versioning system. It’s now up to 2017.3

I am also having the same issue, “2D object” option only displays “sprite” and cannot see “tile map”. I currently have the lates version 2019 installed.

Are you having this problem? Go to window, 2d, and I only see Sprite Packer, and not Tile Palette or Sprite editor.

Oh, and by the way, try going to Components/Tilemap

Does anyone know a solution to this? I can’t create a tile, the option doesn’t show, and I tried the latest 2 versions of Unity…

In 2019.1, Tilemap is in Create/2D Object and Tile Palette is in Window/2D. You should find them since the Tilemap package is a built in package, it’s installed by default.

I can create a Tilemap, however I can’t create a Tile in assets. The option doesn’t show up.4650106--436714--asd.png

I have the same problem, but starting a new project seems to fix it.

Are you using Unity 2019.2 and above? @AlexV95 based on your screenshots, it seems to be the case. The Tilemap Editor is now a package in Unity 2019.2 (and above) and can be installed from the Unity Package Manager. If you started a new project with the 2D Template, or upgrade from a previous version of Unity, this package will be automatically installed for your project.

Thanks. I’ve had Tilemap in my project for a while, but it got removed sometime during version upgrade conversions. All good now.

@ChuanXin @EduFoqsi Thank you guys. It’s all working now.

Hi All,
I had the same problem and the TileMap palette was already installed. My solution was similar to the advice above - I uninstalled then reinstalled and it’s all good!

well, I found the solution, in a new project go to:
Window–>
Package Manager
Search for tile
it will show tile editor
install it at the bottom right button
and there you have it
